But I Am, But I Do Know - July'17

If you could even begin
To comprehend where I’ve come from
The places I have dragged limp limbs
Across scorching ice and frozen fire
Then you would be terrified of me

If you could even begin
To grasp where I’ve been
The roads I’ve taken
The lives I’ve lived
Then you would be terrified of me

I have been me for quite awhile
But I have been your mother
But I have been your sister
I have been your uncle
I have been an empress and an emperor
I have been a peasant
I just might have been God

“I've watched universes freeze and creations burn
I have seen things you wouldn't believe
I have lost things you will never understand
And I know things, secrets that must never be told
And knowledge that must never be spoken”

If you could even begin
To understand where I’ve walked
The pathways I’ve treaded
The ways I’ve become accustomed to
Then you would be terrified of me

But I’m scared too
But I’m terrified
I do know where I’ve come from
The places I have dragged limp limbs
Across scorching ice and frozen fire
I do know where I’ve been
The roads I’ve taken
The lives I’ve lived
